Solomon Omogboye's compelling canvas, titled "Life Has Its Challenges," features a large, mesmerizing portrait of a young boy gazing directly at the observer. This evocative artwork provides a profound glimpse into the boy's inner world, conveying a wealth of emotions and experiences.
Omogboye's artistic mission is to infuse his creations with sentiments he hopes others will embrace in their lives: awe, wonder, excitement, gratitude, appreciation, joy, hope, freedom, acceptance, and curiosity.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1982, Solomon Omogboye is a gifted impressionist painter. His journey began with formal art and industrial design studies at the Lagos State Polytechnic, followed by work at the Lagos National Theatre. He earned the prestigious AADS Best Artist of the Year award in 2007.
Before relocating to South Africa in 2014, Omogboye spent six years as an art teacher. He attributes his prolific output to his mother's influence, herself a teacher. His preferred mediums include charcoal, pastel, acrylic, and oil on canvas, each reflecting his thoughts, inspirations, and ideas.
Omogboye's art has graced exhibitions in various locations, including Lagos, Johannesburg, Franschhoek, and Théoule-sur-Mer, France. Characterized by bold, dynamic brushwork and playful depictions of human anatomy, his work has garnered acclaim locally and internationally, establishing him as a prominent Nigerian artist.
For Omogboye, inspiration blooms during his travels, often discovered in unexpected places. His art is an evolving reflection of his journey towards embracing imperfection and appreciating the innate beauty within it.
